So now we have a Harvard Alum in the family and she’s getting Harvard Magazine. But she ain’t home right now, so..we’re getting it. The cover story is Defeating Disinformation.
ok, no, I can’t read it all. I got as far as “..so when Stop the steal turned violent on January 6…”
Oh riiiight, the “insurrection”. Timed to take place between lunch and dinner. No one armed,.no one killed except Ashli Babbit—by whom, we still don’t know.
Hey you bozos: was it “disinformation”for Schiff to go before the cameras practically daily, telling us “mine eyes have seen the evidence of collusion between Trump and The Russians”?
Cuz I’d call THAT “a lie”.
oh I can’t even be arsed to list all of the “disinformation” about Trump. You, readers, know it all.
Harvard notwithstanding, let me say:
There is no such thing as “disinformation”.
Either a statement is true, or it is false.
And if the speaker or writer knows or should know it to be false—
Then it is a damned
LIE.
Right on, Hypatia! There’s not a “smitch” – a la Zou-Zou Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life” – of a difference between ‘disinformation’ and structured lying.

Disinformation is a common industrial by product and/or side effect of white privilege.

Seriously though if I recall correctly, disinformation was birthed as a military tactic to confuse and deceive the enemy.
